- Connect Pin 1 of power glove (referred to as pg from here on) to
- pin 18 of the parallel port and to ground (computer case will do).
- Pin 2 on pg connects to any 5 volt power supply (to provide power
- to the glove), such as pin 5 of your keyboard socket, or pin 1 on
- most game card sockets. Pin 3 on the pg connects to pin 2 on the
- parallel port. Pin 4 connects to nothing. Pin 5 on pg connects to
- pin 3 on the parallel port. Pin 6 on pg connects to nothing. Pin
- 7 on pg connects to pin 13 on parallel port. It is probably best
- to buy an RS-232 type connector and solder wires directly from the
- NES socket on the pg to the back of the RS-232 connector. In this
- fashion, you have a reliable connection. Good luck! To subscribe

- Doomglov is a program intended to make it possible to use the
- Nintendo power glove as a controller in Doom. This program was
- written by Carlo Carenini & Antonio Tarquini. This text is
- provided as a supplement to their documentation and is in no way
- affiliated with them or ID software or Nintendo Corporation of
- America.
-
- To use doomglov, unzip into the doom directory and type doomglov.
- You must remove all mouse drivers from your system for doomglov to
- work. You must also run the doom setup program and enable
- "keyboard & mouse." See doomglov.txt for more information.
